It’s true that OPP is cracking down on drivers for Canada day long weekend.

“When you speed, follow too closely, fail to yield right-of-way or engage in road rage behaviour, you are not just breaking the law,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support in a recent statement.

“You are contributing to preventable road deaths on OPP-patrolled roads every year that are linked to these aggressive driving behaviors. We are urging all drivers to be mindful of this over the Canada Day Long Weekend and throughout the year.”

OPP will specifically be watching for aggressive driving behaviours.

Aircraft and helicopter resources will be watching from above OPP-patrolled roads, waterways, and trails this Canada Day long weekend.
